Sorry forgot to add one thing to my last post. In regards to the reddit post stating that Mike was acting alone using Multigfx and that none of Stones employees were in on it, this can clearly be disproven by the graphics changing. While Feldman brought this up last night I believe it has been overlooked by many. It did take me a little while to grasp everything but take a look at these three hands where the graphics are "incorrect"
Hand #1: 00:35:20

Graphics show Harlan with Ks9s. Harlan calls allin and players table their hands.
After Harlan shows AsKs, the graphics update his hand correctly presumably by the producer. The 9s couldve been carried over from the previous hand (Harlan folds too quickly) or couldve been a read error. This is how it should look when the RFID has an error.
Hand #2: 00:32:00

Graphics show Harlan with 9h3c, player directly to his left cards are not read. It's possible his RFID reader picked up one of his opponents cards? Interestingly enough, you see Justin approach Harlan during the middle of the hand and say something to him (presumably to put his cards back over the reader). This would also prove that Justin is most likely in the booth watching the live stream. Graphics then change the 3c to 8s. Harlan never shows his hand. Again this seems completely normal by all accounts. Now let's go to hand #3...
Hand #3:

The hand we've all seen by now, but the graphics change right at the end of the hand, both cards change. Clearly you can see the differences between this one and the other two. The only explanation is that the producer realized how ridiculous this would look and manually changed the graphics at that time. Also worth noting that he alerts the commentators that the change is about to happen before the graphics switch and they call to him, "Taylor."
Why can't the graphics be changed in the 30 minute window between when the hand was played and the stream airs? It would require a lot of extra work to do this and get the timing right. If they had the ability to do this, why didn't they update it to the start of the hand or to any of the other hands. The only explanation is the producer of the shower, presumably Taylor, manually changed the 8d6s to 8s9s in real time on the river when he realized what was happening. He would have no way of knowing what Mike's cards were. Further it's near impossible that Mike held anything other than 8d6s. The funny thing is that when the producer tries to cover this, he actually proves his own guilt. If he had just left the graphics as is, it would have been more plausible for Mike to say he actually had 89 and the RFID was incorrect. But by making the graphic change, it removes all doubt.
